New irritating adverts

There's a new one so irritating that even DP has commented on it: the Alisha Dixon Tresemme ad. Who has ever coloured their hair because it makes them feel, "super fresh"? Alisha apparently.

Bio oil for stretch marks..
Do grown women really refer to the stomach as a tummy?

"Not De Niro, like Robert De Niro, but The Niro."

Why did you hire Robert De Niro to come along to your advert shoot then, huh? MAKES NO SENSE!

ShirleyPhallus · 14/02/2021 19:43

I assume “fresh” in this context means “quite nice”

It's not new but still in Tv - the perf with surf advert. Makes me want to hurl my cup at the tv.

FrostyGotFurloughed · 14/02/2021 20:03

Every single one of these adverts annoy the life out of me

IstandwithJackieWeaver · 14/02/2021 20:39

Yeah - the Niro one even has "my bad" in it, an expression that sets my teeth on edge.

I've just seen the new Halifax one

Long winded and cringy

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 14/02/2021 20:43

Its not new, but its a toothpaste advert where theres a woman who seems to have a fridge full of peppers and is running on the spot to help her legs and heart.

I hate it. It annoys me everytime it comes on.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 14/02/2021 20:48

Oral-b toothpaste! Thats it

IstandwithJackieWeaver · 14/02/2021 20:53

The Oral B toothpaste ad is so last year: plenty of new material out there to choose from. Super fresh hair dye being top of my list at the moment.

Don't watch TV then there's no annoying adverts

TwoZeroTwoZero · 14/02/2021 20:58

That one on the radio. I think it's for bt wifi. The one where that dickhead can't cook the chicken because she has crap wifi. First of all, if she knows her wifi won't reach her kitchen then why couldn't she write the recipe down or even print it off? Second, who the fuck tries to cook a bloody chicken in a sodding microwave?! If she's really that thick, crap wifi is the least of her problems.

isseys4xmastinselcats · 14/02/2021 21:04

the first oral b one was bad enough but the new where do dentists go to clean their teeth is even more patronising

the aggressive guy in the car singing about his feelings

LagneyandCasey · 14/02/2021 22:11

It's not that new but Jane McDonald and her Royaaaaallle Life ad. It's not a bungalow - it's a caravan!

ihavenoplans · 14/02/2021 22:17

Super noodle tastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Fuck off.

Super noodle tastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Fuck off.
I've just had to pause and then skip that ad. It really annoys me as well!
Hazynomore · 14/02/2021 23:40

That Quorn one ... gives me the rage

Whatwouldscullydo · 14/02/2021 23:48

Its either hello fresh or feast box, the couples keep looking at eachother as if they can't be trusted to remember what to say, like seriously the camera person isn't going to run off with your husband /wife if they sit on the other side if the room, you can say 5 words without their permission.

RumJerrySailorRum · 15/02/2021 00:59

The Marc Jacobs Daisy advert.

Fuck off with your daisy daisy daisy daisy shit

BananaPop2020 · 15/02/2021 01:09

That awful coffee one with the woman in the headset has made a comeback. It was around last year and in a faux hair salon setting. I think it is Kenco? I wouldn’t buy it now out of principle.

SpicyTinkle · 15/02/2021 01:14

ALL the perfume ones and ALL the online dating ones.

JovialNickname · 15/02/2021 01:25

The BT one that promises to give you £20 back if you don't receive the internet speed you've signed a contract for and paid for. Yeah and the rest, you thieving bastards. What other product could they completely knowingly mis sell to you, stick you with the sub standard service, then refund you a tiny percentage of your own money back - and market this as a plus point! Wow BT.

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 15/02/2021 01:37

The Tango one about a dildo. What were they thinking?!

Wishingwell75 · 15/02/2021 01:39

Not on TV to my knowledge but on YouTube at the moment I am constantly being told not to "scroll past this" awful ad from Aunt Polly.
Being informed by either Mercedes from Hollyoaks or Rita Something who used to run the Queen Vic that I am seriously failing my family because I don't have life insurance from said Aunt Polly is really pissing me off!
It's mainly because I imagine they are targeting younger (less critical than old sour puss me 😁) mums who may not immediately wonder how much these actresses got paid.
Also it's all neatly wrapped up "for mums" "don't scroll past this ladies" don't tell me what to do!! No obvious financial information though as far as I've been able to watch anyway.
